OMB issued a Federal Register Notice for the new definition of MSAs in December 2000.
This called for the creation of metropolitan, and micropolitan areas. More information

What do you know about OMB's initiative to Combine Statistical Areas? They are
looking for local input on combining, I need to get some info for the Board on impacts to
us as an MPO.
